ALTER STREET: Kris Chau

Directing . Editing . Branding

This was our first Alter Street and still one of our favorites. This L.A. goddess’ work is grounded in tribal symbolism done in a fluid style of inks and dyes on paper that is beyond stunning. Kris was so open in giving us an inside look into her world. She let her nerd flag fly and her energy is infectious when she talks about what making art means to her. Above her amazing talents, she is just an incredible person and it was a pleasure capturing her essence on film.

This was a self-produced passion project. Alter Street was a bi-monthly artist documentary series in which we worked directly with artists and galleries in Philadelphia, New York and Los Angeles. Each episode in the series features a unique artist. We highlighted their process to creating their work, how they got started, their studios, and how all their work culminates in a public show. We also sold limited-edition prints that we designed and produced to help with funding more episodes.

CHALLENGE:

Being self-produced with basically zero budget, the crew volunteered their time working for food and beer. This was challenging, but also bonding in that it became everybody’s passion project.
